This is heartbreaking news. My deepest condolences to the entire family. I have many beautiful memories of sitting at the Ritz Carlton in downtown Atlanta with Armen during Rug Markets. He shared with me how much love he had for his wife and how important his family was to him. He was always so warm and real and honest....such a gentle soul. I will remember him always and will truly miss his spirit.

I will truly miss you Armen. Ok, perhaps not so much (lol!). I've never had as close a friend as you. Regardless of circumstances you were there. I could confide anything to you. Your advice was unfailingly wise. And, you were a mentor in business. I'm looking forward to seeing you again. I expect some roast lamb waiting and the freshest rug industry scoops. God bless.

We love Armen. He's been the essential 1/4th to our KoBab Best Friendship. We are so grateful for the trips together, the meals, the comfy chair times, the movie times, the car-rides, the camp fires...Vivien knows Armen as her beloved uncle, and he is our best friend's best friend. Armen will forever be a great love and a season of great memory-making that really was much too short. We love you, Armo. Badger Bear. Best Friend. Uncle. Entrepreneur. Armenian Rug Dealer. XXXOOO. Truly, we hate carrying on...we'd much rather just curl up with you...I hope to God there is a heaven, because I really look forward to spending eternity with you. God bless your soul.
